directions
In a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook, combine all dough ingredients.
Mix for 20 minutes until dough is smooth, place on floured tray and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Flour work surface and roll dough out 4 inches by 20 inches. Brush with melted butter (not in above ingredients) and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mix as needed.
Roll dough strips tightly together. With knife, cut into sections three fingers wide and place in greased (not in above ingredients) muffin pans.
Place a towel over the buns and proof them (let them rise until double in size. Takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room).
Then bake in oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Turn pans occasionally for even baking. Remove from oven and brush with glaze immediately. Cool for at least 10 minutes, then coat with icing before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and everything is fine and works well until .... the amount of rum extract in the glazes cannot possibly be right. It's too much extract and makes the rolls inedible. I know that the original Hogate's buns did not actually contain rum. I am wondering if the recipe for the glazes was based on a larger quantity of buns? I am a very confident cook and baker. I knew the amount of extract in the glazes seemed wrong and they are. I am going to experiment with the glazes on my own, but would love to know if anyone else was able to duplicate the taste of the glazes properly.
Oh my this takes me back to my childhood! We went to Hogates so many Fridays. Loved these rum buns!

Absolutely fabulous. I make a batch, roll, shape, and cut. Divide dough in 1/2 roll into a rectangle, brush with melted butter (a lot), sprinkle heavily with cinnamon sugar. Roll tightly and cut each roll into 12 pieces. Grease 6 small square pans and put 4 rolls in each pan. I then rise and cook as above. Usually I freeze at this step several pans (covered tightly with foil). When ready to bake take out of freezer let rise until double, bake and enjoy. They freeze for 3 months at least.
I ate at Hogate's Restaurant on the Tidal Basin several years ago and found these Rum Buns absolutely fabulous and irresistable. We still talk about them and so do our friends that ate there with us. I hope this recipe will bring back those fond memories with our tastebuds.
